A Comparison of Traditional and Geometric Morphometric Techniques for the Study of Basicranial Morphology in Horses: A Case Study of the Araucanian Horse from Colombia [PDF]
Animals, 2020 Skull size and shape have been widely used to study domestic animal populations and breeds. Although several techniques have been proposed to quantify cranial form, few attempts have been made to compare the results obtained by different techniques ...

Finding patterns of atoll morphometrics at a range of spatial scales
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Small Island Nations, often comprised of Atolls, are at considerable risk of climate change impacts from sea-level rise to coral acidification to increasing cyclone intensity; understanding how they will change in the coming century is vital for climate ...

A Revised Phylogeny of the Mentha spicata Clade Reveals Cryptic Species
Plants, 2021 The genus Mentha is taxonomically and phylogenetically challenging due to complex genomes, polyploidization and an extensive historical nomenclature, potentially hiding cryptic taxa.

Still slow, but even steadier: an update on the evolution of turtle cranial disparity interpolating shapes along branches [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 In a previous study, we estimated the cranial disparity of turtles (Testudinata) through time using geometric morphometric data from both terminal taxa and hypothetical ancestors to compensate for temporal gaps in the fossil record.
